Optical Channel Checker to Test xWDM Fiber Networks - VeEX FX182

The FX182 channel checker is a rugged, handheld, easy-to use measurement tool for applications that utilize WDM technology. The test set can simultaneously display all channels results in a tiles, bar, or table format within 3 seconds. xWDM Technology xWDM technology is used by service providers for deploying Metro Rings, Remote PHY networks, long-haul transmission and RAN systems. The FX182 is designed to measure both 100GHz DWDM channels in C and L-band per ITU-T G.694.1 and CWDM channels with wavelengths from 1270 to 1610 nm per ITU-T G.694.2 to verify signal levels are acceptable and no cable routing issues exist.


 

FIBER OPTION

An optional Fiber microscope can be used to assess the cleanliness of the optical connector’s surface and is perfectly suited for bulkhead adapter or male connector inspection. The probe connects directly to the unit’s micro-USB OTG port to obtain its power and to transfer images.
Single finger focusing with an automatic image focus and capture feature simplifies operation. The probe features inter-changeable heads and is supplied with bulkhead adapter tips for FC/PC, SC/PC, and LC/PC connector style, including male connector adapters.
Software for viewing connector end-face images which have been transferred and saved on a Windows® PC is available as an option. Optional software automatically captures the focused image and analyzes the connector condition and provides a report with Pass/ Fail criteria according to the IEC 61300-3-35 Sect 5.4 standard.
